Terrorist threat "very great" in UK, says Reid, but there's too little evidence to try the suspected terrorists!
YAHOO NEWS: LONDON (Reuters) - Britain is facing a "very great threat" from a wave of plots among Muslim extremists and a terrorist attack on the UK is highly likely, Home Secretary John Reid said on Wednesday.

Echoing a warning last week by the head of domestic spy agency MI5, Reid said authorities were aware of 30 active terrorist plots.

"There are a lot of conspiracies out there," Reid told BBC radio.

"These 30 are the ones we think are the most serious of them. They are ongoing, they are working, and they have the potential... some will be nearer preparation than others."

Asked how serious the situation was, Reid said: "It is a very great threat". Reid says terrorist threat "very great"

Britain needs to repeal the so called Human rights act as it is used exclusively to obstruct or subvert common sense and justice.

If MI5 have grave concern over 1600 aliens then they, along with their families should be taken into custody and held in a 'safe' place (as in the Falkland islands)in the interest of national security.

All new immigrants to Britain, including so called 'asylum seekers' should also be held offshore until vetted, with the option of repatriation should they object.

Islam has declared war on the west, the liberal hand-wringers are currently engaged in complicity to our destruction!

Old Nail, I couldn't agree with you more. Innocent citizens have the right to live free from danger. That is a higher priority than protecting the 'rights' of suspected terrorists. It will be too late once people have been blown up. What is the matter with these politicians?

Plenty of evidence, just no resources in the Liberal elite's trouser department.
